You might remember that last week, Lionel Richie's country album, Tuskegee, debuted the same week as Madonna's new release, MDNA. Madonna handily won the Battle of the Eighties Stars that week.

But Lionel had more staying power—in week two, Madonna's sales plummeted more than 80 percent, and Lionel outsold her, 95,000 to 48,000. That's good enough for Lionel to land at No. 2 on the country album charts this week, No. 4 on the all-genre chart.
